Paul's Tasty Red Salsa

Paul's Red Salsa

20 Ripe- very Ripe Roma Tomatoes- cut in half
One medium White Onion
4 Jalapenos- cut and remove seeds if like, we do on 2 and leave 2
6 gloves of garlic- minced
Bunch of Cilantro- generous amount
3 Limes
1/2- 1 tsp Cumin
Salt and cracked pepper

You first half all your tomatoes, really the riper the better, this is great if you have a few that have some spots that have gone south, just cut those spots off and use the tomato. Same principal as when you use brown bananas for bread/muffins.
Second, half all your peppers, we leave the seeds on a couple, sometimes 3 but you can cut that out if your family does not like spicy food.
Mince/dice your garlic up
Add all this to a pan and simmer for 15 min, like my recipe for green sauce do not add water, let it render in its own juices.

This is how it looks kind of all stewed up, you are going to stir this occasionally as it cooks.

While this simmers I cut the onion and cilantro up. Then I juice 3 limes into the blender then pour the pan mixture into the blender. This is when I add 1/2-1 tsp of cumin, a little bit of salt and some cracked pepper. We like the taste of the cracked pepper, you can omit this if you like.
Then in the bowl I will store this in I add the fresh onion and cilantro- we do not mix this in the blender because we like our salsa chunky, if you do not, then mix it so it will be picante like.
We like this with all kinds of Mexican foods. My children will all eat this with chips often during the week as a snack. It is also good over potatoes, omelets etc.
